Classroom Resources about World War 1

Schools use the common resource materials in the PDFs to find out the story of their own soldiers’ and community’s experience of the war, and to learn from their partner or link school about that other community’s experiences. In this way both schools learn about each other’s past, and can explore the similarities and differences between the experiences of the two communities in the different nations.

There is a background briefing for the students – Introducing the Program – and 9 specific cross-curriculum activities designed to help students investigate four important enquiry questions:

What was my community like when it went to war?

What were the experiences of the soldiers and nurses from my community who went to war?
